    No, he's new and curious with questions.

    Boats, firearms are like handtools (or knots if you are into sailing). What do you want to do? Plink? Defend yourself? Hunt? Compete?

    Are you for a returning banned member, a troll or both?

    I didn't read the opening riles and I needed to contact a seller. So I tried getting a quick 50 posts in....

    This is a tough croud if you need something........

    got banned for 24 hours.. I think I was the quickest in the history of this forum to get banned:D

    Then don't post quickly to get 50 posts, take your time, read the faqs and make good posts...

    I'm unsure how to answer your questions, what do you consider a tree huger gun?

    So, what is your budget for a gun?

    I guess that depends on what it is.. I been buying a few in the past few months so I figure maybe I should ask instead of trial and error. Buying one that might cost a little more could end up costing less than buying a bunch

    So, what guns have you enjoyed shooting the most? Do you shoot steel for fun or paper for accuracy?

    I don't live in a free state so I was shootless for the last 35 years or so. After the kids left I went for my permit and got it back in Januaring. I like shotting them all. I started out with a Beretta 92fs inox and bought a half dozen between that and yesterdays buy which was a beretta 96 brig inox .40 will be the biggest cal I have, i also have a few .22s and a 380. I shoot the ruger mk111 hunter ,6,75 stainless with fluted barral the best.:yesway:

    I kinda go for made in the USA but sometimes it hard to do. I'm mostley into hand guns because I have to shoot at a indoor range most the time. I like shooting at paper.

    my spelling aint that great either but.. I can translate it if anyone can't understand United States.

    I woun't be selling anything. I was a buyer and maybe might still be. I found what I was looking for on gunbroker last night. But I seem to buy pretty often so If any of the selling member want me as a potential buyer someday..I guess i will need to get 50 posts. I don't need them fast anymore though. someone said I could buy my way in so i would do that if i saw something again.
